Either way, all of us here affirm that our bodies were made by God, and He had a reason to make them the way he did. And that the body of a believer is the temple of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) :thumbsup
Hi, StoicMind,
It sounds to me like what you are talking about is what the Bible would call your "heart" or your "bossom", as in the following passage:
Luke 24:13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking...
Yes, I am familiar with the Eldridge's ministry. I get letters from them once in a while. I'm not sure if I've read Stasi's book, but I'm familiar with it.
Yes, I understand what you are saying. Thank you for the encouragement, Justin.
I guess the reason I struggle so much with not being good enough is because I have had so much time to get better! It has been over 30 years since I first believed and when I look back on my life so far, I don't...
Right, I understand. I'm not too good at putting that stuff in my own words, so I just like to leave it to Scripture. :-) The Word of God says it best :yes
By the way, that was a good summary of what the bible says. So, why do you ask for my "interpretation"?
Hi Navigator,
I think I understand what you are getting at with this question, but I wonder if I should be putting the gospel into my own words. I think it should be stated in the words of Christ.
One more:
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Colossians 3:1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your...
Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you...
Ephesians 1:15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spiritf...
Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it...
(cont.) “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.”a
7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by...
Hebrews 12: 1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith...
Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but
we also rejoice in...
I can totally relate to what you are saying, xhayatox. I've had similar experiences, even recently, and I am 38. I see a lot of similarities between your life and mine. I was pretty alone myself at your age.
I just have a few questions for you. You say you've been a Christian for three...
Yeah, I hear you there. My husband's beliefs about sex are quite different. I'm worried about how our boys are going to turn out since my hubby believes that premarital sex is totally fine and should be encouraged. On the other hand, I engaged in it myself, so being a believer didn't keep me...
